Soko - Galaxy, SXSW, Austin TX - March 17, 2010


[from France] her song “I’ll Kill Her” is indescribably cute and hilarious but she didn’t play it and mocked it when I asked her to – despite that, I enjoyed her show – her little-girl voice bends and curls and then she’s screaming – the one consistency in her sound is a sort of hippie ethic but otherwise it was something of a spoken performance… with a backing band – Rockboy only saw the tail end of her show and immediately declared her pretentious, disingenuous and annoying… all of which are true as well – for example, there was a long period of time when her MySpace tagline was “Soko is dead.” which prompted cries of adoration form her fans and pleas to come back… which she did… of course (Photo courtesy of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDRCS4lr5q0)
